I like the WI-FI through the Parks idea and understand the issue of the service still only being available to upper income individuals.
What about enabling people to check out laptops after paying a nominal fee kind of like they do yellow bikes now? Another option might be establishing a laptop granting program to lower income individuals in the community. I wouldn't expect that this would use public dollars. It seems that there would be an interest on the part of private business in giving grants to make this kind of service available in the community and that the entire venture may be able to draw some private support.
